About To Baby and Beyond
Terms and conditions

Cancellation of courses
If you have booked a course but need to cancel, we ask for at least 28 days notice so that we can arrange for another participant to have the space. If notice is given within less than 28 days, we will do our best to fill your space. If we are able to fill your space we can transfer you to the next available date, but please note we cannot guarentee this will happen. Course bookings are not transferable in any other situation.

General
The following apply to all courses please see specific headings below for specific courses additional terms and conditions:

1. If you fail for whatever reason to participate in or complete your course(s), you must still pay to To Baby and Beyond the full fee for your course(s). There shall be no refund or discount of fees following the start of the course. Because of the way our courses are structured, once your booking is confirmed we are unable to transfer you to another course, or to offer any refunds. As you can appreciate, this could result in our running a course with insufficient numbers. The only exception to this is in cases of severe illness of a participant. In these cases a financial reduction will be made for the next available course going on a prorate basis of lessons already taken.

2. Courses occasionally have to be cancelled because we’ve had too few bookings. We do all that we can to avoid this, but it’s not possible to run a course if only a few people have applied. If the number of bookings is too low, we’ll wait for some time after the usual closing date before cancelling the course, in case people book late. This will mean that confirmation emails won't be sent out a month before the course. You will, of course, be informed as soon as possible if the course is cancelled. A rescheduled date will be offered. If you notify To Baby and Beyond within seven days of being advised of a re-scheduled date that such date is unacceptable and if no other date can be agreed, then you will be entitled to a refund of the course fees paid but not otherwise.

3. To Baby and Beyond cannot be held responsible for travel or accommodation costs paid before a course has been confirmed, so please do not pay for travel arrangements before you have received your confirmation email (or alternatively, ring the To Baby and Beyond office on 01273 702496 to confirm that a course is going ahead).
